Endorsements from professionals and survivors
 

Professional Endorsement by Dr. Rebecca Bailey

"Congratulations to Dr Alyse Price-Tobler on this important contribution to the field. Her work reflects the kind of ethical, research-driven commitment that our profession needs. She brings both intellectual rigor and genuine compassion to one of the most challenging and often misunderstood areas of clinical practice. This book is a testament to her dedication to advancing specialized, evidence-informed care for individuals and families who deserve to be seen, understood, and supported with integrity and thoughtfulness." Dr Rebecca Bailey PhD. Director. Transitioning Families, USA

"Dr Alyse Price-Tobler’s work is the missing link between the well-known "Voice of the Child" and the often overlooked, rarely understood "Experience of the Child" in complex, high-conflict family separations. Grounded in rigorous research and twin PhDs, the Healing Qualia Treatment Protocol documents specific Adverse Childhood Experiences in separated families and presents a clear, phase-based treatment architecture. As a Family Mediator, Facilitator, and person with lived experience, I have seen how often children are misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or left without appropriate support, many silently wondering, "Have you experienced what I have?" The impact can be lasting, affecting identity, relationships, emotional regulation, and worldview. This Healing Qualia Treatment Protocol is the first of its kind I have seen to so clearly illuminate a child’s lived experience while prioritising safety, autonomy, self-esteem, and recovery. It is essential reading for Family Law professionals and Therapists working with separated parents and children." JD Knight, Family Mediator, Facilitator, Documentary Filmmaker (lived experience).

"Dr Price-Tobler's therapeutic protocol for adult child survivors, The Healing Qualia Treatment Protocol, is more than a treatment guide. It is an invaluable resource for family law practitioners, serving as a comprehensive reference on the nature of childhood physical and psychological abuse, its lifelong effects, and the behavioural patterns and symptoms commonly exhibited by survivors. Grounded in science and extensive PhD twin-study research, Healing Qualia provides practical guidance for identifying, understanding, and effectively presenting these issues within a legal context. It equips lawyers, family report writers, psychologists and other professionals with a deeper understanding of the enduring effects of childhood trauma and the evidence needed to recognise and articulate those effects in legal and therapeutic settings."

 

"In a system where the best interests of children are frequently invoked but not always consistently realised, Healing Qualia offers an evidence-informed clinical framework that helps professionals understand the long-term developmental and psychological consequences of child psychological abuse within high-conflict divorce and separation contexts. It is an essential reference for clinicians, legal professionals, and others committed to improving outcomes for adult survivors, children, and families."

"There would be few publications to match the unique nature of this work. It synthesises lived experience and clinical practice into an integrated framework that addresses the special needs of a unique population. Few practitioners are equipped in training and practice to identify and respond to the special trauma that adult alienated children experience. The cancellation of identity, the coercion into a delusional world and the rupturing of loving and developmental family relationships are a special form of trauma more notable for its omission from professional practice. This work is a must-read for practitioners who, until now, may never have known the true person who walked through their door and sat down with them for therapy." Dr Stan Korosi PhD (UniSC).

"I was an alienated child, and I've spent the years since reuniting with my targeted parent studying what happened to me and to families like mine. Alienation doesn't end with reunification. It ends with healing from the trauma. That's what makes Dr Alyse Price-Tobler's work matter. Healing Qualia is the first book I've read that lays out both what the alienated child is living through and what recovery actually looks like, so they can reclaim what was taken from them and build a new future with the people they love. It gets deeper inside the alienated child's inner experience than anything else I've encountered in the current literature. But the most important thing Healing Qualia offers is hope. Hope for families marked by the trauma of child psychological abuse, so they can get the support they need to stop passing those wounds to the next generation and instead leave a legacy of love."
